Your Experience

The journey begins at the Flaminio Obelisk in Piazza del Popolo, where you'll board a comfortable AC coach along with your professional tour leader. As you depart for Tuscany's stunning landscapes of rolling hills and picturesque towns, prepare to be captivated by the ancient charm of Montepulciano.

Upon arrival, meet an expert guide who will lead you through a walking exploration of this historic town. With ruins predating Rome, charming squares, and narrow roads abound, it's a quintessential Italian experience. Don't miss visiting an age-old wine cellar before continuing to the St. Biagio Church.

At St. Biagio Church, marvel at its imposing dome and semi-circular apse. Afterward, head to a nearby farmhouse surrounded by vineyards for a traditional 3-course Italian lunch featuring local cuisine. Before dining, enjoy a short pasta-making demonstration with tastings. A sommelier will guide you through five regional wines, including the famed Brunelli di Montalcino.

While souvenirs like wine are available post-lunch, it's best to wait until your next stop: Pienza. Known for its local crafts and culinary delights, this Renaissance town offers ample shopping opportunities with expert advice from your tour leader. Spend an hour exploring the artisan shops or picking up specialties such as balsamic vinegar, pecorino cheese, and wines.

After indulging in all that Tuscany has to offer, relax on your return journey back to Rome, supported by memories of a sun-drenched adventure through Italy's heartland.
